Whenever I notice a sci-fi property being particularly original, it makes me enjoy it even more.

It may seem obvious, but space is absolutely gigantic.

While I also loveStar Trek: Voyager, the show makes navigating space seem very easy.

If space travel had been treated differently in the SyFy space opera, the Peacekeepers would be fairly pedestrian.

Being on the run from an organization like the Peacekeepers is already a terrifying prospect.

They’re armed to the teeth, xenophobic, and incredibly relentless.

Farscape is a sci-fi television series that initially premiered in 2004 and was created by Rockne S. O’Bannon. Astronaut John Crichton is sucked into a wormhole across the universe after an experimental flight goes haywire, setting him onboard a ship with a crew of several different alien races. Stuck in space and on the run from a nefarious organization known as the Peacekeepers, John and company work together to make it day-by-day while trying to maintain peace throughout the universe - as much as possible

Their ability to traverse space with greater accuracy than mostFarscapecharacters makes the Peacekeepers even more formidable.

However, there’s a clever connection between them both.

I was also a huge fan of howFarscapeslowly introduced its own vocabulary for real-world terms.

For instance,Farscapedidn’t use the traditional F-word and opted for “Frell” instead.

I assumed they were only rough approximations, but that only made me feel more immersed inFarscape’ssci-fiworld.
